Market Overview:

A drug delivery system (DDS) is a formulation or a device that enables the introduction of a therapeutic substance into the body that improves its efficacy and safety by controlling the rate, time, and place of release of drugs into the body. Drug delivery systems have substantially evolved over the last six decades. In the last 12 years majorly, there have been huge advancements in drug delivery technology. For instance, advanced medication delivery systems, such as transdermal patches, are able to deliver a drug more selectively to a specific site, which frequently leads to easier, more accurate, and less dosing overall. There are other drug delivery systems used in both medical and home care settings that were developed because of various patient needs, and researchers continue to develop new methods.

Market Driver:

Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases to Drive Drug Delivery System Market Growth

As drug delivery devices help deliver the drugs, which are beneficial for the targeted population to recover faster, there has been a growing adoption of and inclination toward advanced drug delivery devices. Moreover, a rising number of cancers, respiratory disease, and diabetic patients worldwide may promote the adoption of drug delivery system and drive the overall market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the biggest cause of death worldwide, with approximately 10 million deaths in 2020. Overall, the global burden of cancer incidence and death is quickly increasing. As per the CDC, in 2020, 1,603,844 new cancer cases were reported, and 602,347 people died of cancer in the US. Breast, colorectal, lung, cervical, and thyroid cancers are common among women. In contrast, lung and prostate cancer is the most common among men, accounting for nearly one-third of all male cancers. This growing burden of cancer increases the adoption of drug delivery devices, contributing significantly to the drug delivery system market's growth.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on application, the drug delivery system market is categorized into homecare settings, hospitals & clinics and others. In 2018, hospitals and clinics segment held the major share in the drug delivery system market. The homecare settings segment is expected to register a significant growth in the drug delivery system market during the forecast period. The hospital is a complex organization and an institute that provides health to people through complicated but specialized scientific equipment and team of trained staff educated in the problems of modern medical science. They are all coordinated together for the common goal of restoring and maintain good health. Hospitals serves a significant role by providing extensive range of medical services to the patient population suffering from wide variety of diseases. This increased the adoption of drug delivery systems in hospitals and clinics. For instance, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2014, a total number of 7.2 million hospital discharges were reported with diabetes in the US among adult population aged 18 years or older. This is expected to increase the treatment process for controlling and treating chronic conditions, which in turn is expected to increase the usage of drug delivery systems in the hospitals.

Regional Analysis:

In North America, US is the largest market for drug delivery system market. The growth of this market is primarily driven by increasing prevalence of chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma and others, growing number of product launches by key players; and increasing use of drug delivery devices for disease management. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2023, 1.9 million new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the US, and cancer cases are further expected to increase in the country, which is expected to increase the demand for the drug delivery systems for various therapeutics as demand for cancer treatment is quite high in the region owing to the high mortality rate associated with the disease, which is expected to boost growth in the drug delivery system market.

The launch of new products in the country will also help drive drug delivery system market growth. For instance, in February 2022, the US FDA approved the generic Apokyn (apomorphine hydrochloride injection) drug cartridges to treat hypomobility and other episodes associated with advanced Parkinson’s disease. In January 2021, Novartis AG invested in Credence MedSystems to support the development and scale-up of its drug delivery systems. This initiative facilitates Novartis AG's use of Credence technology in its injectable medicines. Similarly, in November 2020, Croda International PLC entered into an agreement with Pfizer Inc. to supply innovative drug delivery systems for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

Furthermore, in March 2022, Corium received US FDA approval for Adlarity to treat patients with mild, moderate, or severe dementia associated with Alzheimer’s. The launch of transdermal patches in the country is expected to boost the studied market during the study period. Moreover, strategic initiatives by market players, such as partnerships and collaborations for increasing the production of drug delivery devices, would lead to lucrative market growth. For instance, in May 2020, the Department of Defense and the United States Department of Health and Human Services awarded a contract worth USD 138 million to ApiJect Systems America for "Project Jumpstart" and "RAPID USA," which will work together to expand the United States' production capability of medical-grade injection devices.
